Many of us eat on the go, but most of the time we don’t think about what we eat! What are we putting in our bodies? Is it real food? Or food full of preservatives that our bodies can’t digest? Start eating real food, before any resulting body pain, fatigue, and illness occur. Eating healthy, real food can also save you money in the long run, helping to keep diseases and conditions at bay. Rather than rely on advertising for convenience foods, do your own research and try to buy fresh, local food whenever possible.

Vertigo or spinning feelings can be scary and debilitating. They can be from serious causes, but most often it is a condition called BPPV. This is an easily treatable condition with intense spinning symptoms. It is when naturally occurring inner ear crystals get dislodged and begin floating in areas they don’t belong. With proper diagnosis, this condition is often fully treated in one to three visits. Incorrect treatment, unfortunately, can make the condition worse. An ENT specialist or a vestibular trained physiotherapist can rule out serious causes and give you the treatment necessary to allow you to live symptom-free.

The never-ending tasks that are involved in caring for a loved one can play havoc on the caregiver’s personal life, as well as their health. Many caregivers will die before the person with dementia that they are caring for does. It is vital that caregivers take care of their own health by attending their own doctor appointments, eating well, exercising, and spending quality time doing things that bring them joy. Caregivers should also reach out to other family members and professionals with experience caring for a person living with dementia for support, guidance, and help caring for their loved one.
